    I mean... basically everyone was back then. Everyone knows the fun fact that Coca Cola used to contain cocaine. Fewer people think about the implications of that or how soda was generally sold at the pharmacy.

    But yeah. nazi leadership is generally accepted to have been on WAY more drugs than most of their contemporaries.

    I'm not sure if you're just trying to illustrate some point or intentionally trying to link Hitler and Coca-Cola. But Coke was down to trace amounts of cocaine by 1904 and none before 1930.

    Meth had recently been invented so lots of Germans were tweaking the fuck out, especially during the beginning. The blitzkrieg was literally a bunch of methed up Germans. Hitler had a quack who in addition to shooting him up with meth and other stims, was also loading him up with hormones extracted from bull testicles and other wacko shit like that.

    He was. A lot of others were, too, but he was an outlier even by 1940s srandards.

    LSD pills were as ubiquitous a Tylenol pills are today. Everyone was taking them.

    Heroin and morphine were quite common as painkillers, and Hitler did do them quite often.

    He did draw the line at tobbaco, though.
